I have a Rem 700 milspec 5R
That I would like to install a jewell trigger in.

How hard a job is this and what kind of tools do I need !

Thanks

Remove rifle from stock, punch out two pins with 1/8" punch I believe, trigger falls out, insert new trigger and reinsert pins.

There's more detailed instructions out there, but that's pretty much it. Easy.

And don't let any springs fall out and get lost in the crap and shavings under yer workbench!!

Removing the old trigger and installing the new is the easy part - takes all of 15 minutes and a small punch.

Testing the new trigger for proper function and adjusting it to get the desired operation can be a bit trickier.
